| I have sown alot of Grandpa Ott MGs inside. The seeds were first soaked overnight and sown in seed starting mix. The seedlings are yellow and do not seem to be greening up much at all. The seed leaves are also tightly stuck to each other to the point that they appear to be a single leaf. I have pried a few apart but don't really want to do that to all of them. Is the yellow leaf color typical for several days after germination? Do the cotyledons normally stay together for several days? Any idea what is going on here? I grow lots of flowers and veggies from seed with few problems. This just does not look right, but I haven't grown MGs in a few years and am not sure if it's abnormal. |

| How much light are they getting? |

| Most days they are moved outside for 12 hours of full sun. It doesn't make them wilt and it doesn't green them up. Tomatoes and peppers in the same light are fine. If the weather is too cold they are inside in bright light from a south facing patio door. Other plants there are all fine. |

| I typically grow my morning glories outside so I really can't say if this is normal for indoor seedlings. I have noticed my outdoor seedling having leaves stuck together but I've never helped them a long. I'm no expert but considering it has only been a few days I would take a hands off wait and see approach while continuing to give them plenty of sunlight. Let us know how they turn out. |

| Yesterday the MGs were beginning to green up nicely. Today they have the green color I think plants should have. Guess I just had to be patient. The leaves that looked tightly stuck together also separated fine. I'm sowing some other varieties and will watch to see if they also have the yellow color initially. |
